Canadian Open: Caroline Wozniacki wins comfortably on return to tennis

Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki secured a first-round victory at the Canadian Open on her return to tennis after retiring in 2020.

Wozniacki, 33, has since given birth to two children and comfortably beat qualifier Kimberly Birrell of Australia 6-2 6-2 in Montreal.

The Dane will face either Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova or Egypt's Mayar Sherif in the second round.

In June, she announced her desire to play in this year's US Open tournament.

Soon after the interview with Vogue, Wozniacki was handed a wildcard for the event at Flushing Meadows, which begins on 28 August.
